Make an elegant statement with this classic two-tone, two-texture clutch. Fully lined, with an I-cord clasp to keep it closed, it’s every bit as functional as it is stylish.

The Althea Clutch is ingeniously designed to achieve a traditional clutch shape with minimal fuss. The base is formed through a clever use of a provisional cast on and picking up stitches, which allows the body to be knit in the round before an I-cord bind off makes for a clean, sturdy finish. The pattern includes detailed instructions for preparing and attaching a sewn fabric lining.

This pattern requires basic hand sewing skills.
